TNF induces glycolytic shift in fibroblast like synoviocytes via GLUT1 and HIF1A.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
TNF is a central cytokine in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Elevated level of TNF causes local inflammation that affects immune cells and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). Nowadays, only 20-30% of patients experience remission after the standard of care therapy-antibodies against TNF. Interestingly, responders show reduced levels of GLUT1 and GAPDH, highlighting a potential link to cellular metabolism. The aim of the study was to investigate whether TNF directly affects the metabolic phenotype of FLS. Real-time respirometry displayed TNF-induced upregulation of glycolysis along with a modest increase of oxidative phosphorylation in FLS from healthy donors. In addition, TNF stimulation enhanced HIF1A and GLUT1 expression. The upregulation of HIF1A and GLUT1 reflects their enriched level in FLS from RA patients (RA-FLS). The inhibition of TAK1, HIF1a and hexokinase deciphered the importance of TNF/TAK1/HIF1A/glycolysis signaling axis. To prove that inhibition of glycolysis reduced the pathogenic phenotype, we showed that 2-deoxyglucose, a hexokinase inhibitor, partially decreased secretion of RA biomarkers. In summary, we identified a direct role of TNF on glycolytic reprogramming of FLS and confirmed the potency of immunometabolism for RA. Further studies are needed to evaluate the therapeutic impact especially regarding non-responder data.
